kumo.make_queue_config { PARAMS }
Constructs a configuration object that specifies how a queue will behave.
This function should be called from the get_queue_config event handler to provide the configuration for the requested queue.
The following keys are possible:
egress_pool
The name of the egress pool which should be used as the source of this traffic.
If you do not specify an egress pool, a default pool named unspecified
will be used. That pool contains a single source named unspecified that
has no specific source settings: it will just make a connection using
whichever IP the kernel chooses.
max_age
Limits how long a message can remain in the queue.
The default value is "7 days".
kumo.on('get_queue_config', function(domain, tenant, campaign, routing_domain)
return kumo.make_queue_config {
-- Age out messages after being in the queue for 20 minutes
max_age = '20 minutes',
}
end)
max_retry_interval
Messages are retried using an exponential backoff as described under retry_interval below. max_retry_interval sets an upper bound on the amount of time between delivery attempts.
The default is that there is no upper limit.
The value is expressed in seconds.
kumo.on('get_queue_config', function(domain, tenant, campaign, routing_domain)
return kumo.make_queue_config {
-- Retry at most every hour
max_retry_interval = '1 hour',
}
end)
protocol
Configure the delivery protocol. The default is to use SMTP to the domain associated with the queue, but you can also configure delivering to a local maildir, or using custom lua code to process a message
Example of smart-hosting with the SMTP protocol
Since: Version 2023.08.22-4d895015
The functionality described in this section requires version 2023.08.22-4d895015 of KumoMTA, or a more recent version.
Rather than relying on MX resolution, you can provide an explicit list of MX host names or IP addresses to which the queue should deliver. The addresses will be tried in the order specified.
kumo.on('get_queue_config', function(domain, tenant, campaign, routing_domain)
if domain == 'smarthost.example.com' then
-- Relay via some other internal infrastructure.
-- Enclose IP (or IPv6) addresses in `[]`.
-- Otherwise the name will be resolved for A and AAAA records
return kumo.make_queue_config {
protocol = {
smtp = {
mx_list = {
'smart.host.local',
{ name = 'mx.example.com', addr = '10.0.0.1' },
},
},
},
}
end
-- Otherwise, just use the defaults
return kumo.make_queue_config {}
end)
Example of using the Maildir protocol
kumo.on('get_queue_config', function(domain, tenant, campaign, routing_domain)
if domain == 'maildir.example.com' then
-- Store this domain into a maildir, rather than attempting
-- to deliver via SMTP
return kumo.make_queue_config {
protocol = {
maildir_path = '/var/tmp/kumo-maildir',
},
}
end
-- Otherwise, just use the defaults
return kumo.make_queue_config {}
end)
Note
Maildir support is present primarily for functional validation rather than being present as a first class delivery mechanism.
Failures to write to the maildir will cause the message to be delayed and retried approximately 1 minute later. The normal message retry schedule does not apply.
Using Lua as a delivery protocol
kumo.on('get_queue_config', function(domain, tenant, campaign, routing_domain)
if domain == 'webhook' then
-- Use the `make.webhook` event to handle delivery
-- of webhook log records
return kumo.make_queue_config {
protocol = {
custom_lua = {
-- this will cause an event called `make.webhook` to trigger.
-- You can pick any name for this event, so long as it doesn't
-- collide with a pre-defined event, and so long as you bind
-- to it with a kumo.on call
constructor = 'make.webhook',
},
},
}
end
return kumo.make_queue_config {}
end)
-- This event will be called each time we need to make a connection.
-- It needs to return a lua object with a `send` method
kumo.on('make.webhook', function(domain, tenant, campaign)
-- Create the connection object
local connection = {}
-- define a send method on the connection object.
-- The return value is the disposition string for a successful
-- delivery; that string will get logged in the resulting log record.
-- If the delivery failed, you can use `kumo.reject` to raise the
-- error with an appropriate 400 or 500 code.
-- 400 codes will be retried later. 500 codes will log a permanent
-- failure and no further delivery attempts will be made for the message.
function connection:send(message)
print(message:get_data())
if failed then
kumo.reject(400, 'failed for some reason')
end
return 'OK'
end
return connection
end)
See should_enqueue_log_record for a more complete example.
retry_interval
Messages are retried using an exponential backoff. retry_interval sets the base interval; if a message cannot be immediately delivered and encounters a transient failure, then a (jittered) delay of retry_interval seconds will be applied before trying again. If it transiently fails a second time, retry_interval will be doubled and so on, doubling on each attempt.
The default is "20 minutes".
kumo.on('get_queue_config', function(domain, tenant, campaign, routing_domain)
return kumo.make_queue_config {
retry_interval = '20 minutes',
}
end)
